Connections & MCP

Connections are the services NORD is allowed to reach on your behalf. MCP servers are the broader version of the same idea: a standard for attaching outside toolboxes to the agent.

Use this when NORD needs to do something in a system you already use.

Connecting a service

1. Go to Settings and then the Verbindingen tab.
2. Pick the service and sign in to that service itself. You are not pasting keys around.
3. After signing in you come back and the connection shows as active.
4. To remove it, disconnect here; the access grant is deleted.

Adding an MCP server

1. Go to the MCP-servers tab.
2. Pick one from the marketplace, or add your own endpoint.
3. That server's tools are discovered at the start of every turn, so a new tool is usable immediately.

Note

If a connected server does not answer it is skipped and your turn continues — with a note saying which one was skipped. That is deliberate: one slow connection must not hold up your whole conversation. Connections are per user; you are connecting your account, not your colleague's.
